Furuno 585 not reading
Submitted by nackers on Sun, 2015-08-23 14:29
G'day all
a mate of mine has just put a 1kw tranny on his Furuno 585 (came off my boat and worked fine )and can't get a reading at all .
i have not seen the installation and did ask if he selected the 1kw option in his units menu , to which he said yes .
I'm guessing it's something in his tuning or installation Anyone got any other ideas?

Is there any display at all?
Is there any display at all? If so could be a simple adjustment of the range and shift function.

Transducer rewire
so as far as I can tell there is a bit of green death (corrosion) in the transducer lead through a small nick .
i am pretty sure it can be rewired and will get my local auto sparky to have a crack at it .
fingers crossed it works cause I already spent the rent he paid for it ha ha.
